long list of reliable authoritie:
1t is a very clear principle Of law dt
cided by many courts that the ma
, who being at present aiding and abel
l ting or assisting hath advised, encOul
) aged, aided or Allotted tho perpetratio
! of crime, may be considered as tn
principal, and Is SO IN the case with tn
bar. Consequently some of the defen
dants are correctly chargeable as acces
series before the fact. Among the in
structloLs for the defense, the Cour
below said:
Although the defendants, or som,
of them, may have said, or spoken, OF
published their views to the effect thai
social revolution should be brought
about by force, and that the officers Of
the law should be resisted, and, to thif
end, dynamite should be used to the
extent of taking human lives; that
persons should arm to resist the
law, and that law should be throttled
and killed, and, although such Ian
guage might cause persons to desire
to carry out the advice given
| aforesaid, and the act which
caused officer Degan's death, yet the
bomb may have been thrown and De
gan killed by some one unfamiliar with
4
of these bomb throwers." The Court
here enters into an elaborate argument
upon the different instructions, quoting
authorities, which are not Of general
| interest.
The Court concludes by saying:
I'VE think that the course pursued on
the trial in regard to the manner OF
empannelling the jury was correct and
in accord with the plain meaning OF
Eaon afGfIItaa
That section says that the jury shall be
passed upon and adopted by the parties
commencing with the plaintiff. The
State is not called upon to
tender the defendants second panel
before the defendants rendered it back.
We cannot see how the remarks of the
States Attorney in their argument to
the jury were remarked by any such
improprietieS as require d reversal OF
Judgment. In their lengthy aTgu-
ment the counsel for the defence
make other points of minor Importance
which are not noticed. AS to these it
is sufficient to say we consider and do
not regard them well taken. The
Judgment of the Criminal Court of
Cook County is affirmed.
DOES NOT CRY OUT INOPPoRTUNELY.
CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-The Arbiter
Zeitung, of which Spies was editor, in
announcing the decision says: 1.-The
Supreme Court in Ottawa, the legal in
affirmed the outrageous verdict
which decides that seven of our
best comrades shall suffer the death
of martyrs for the cause of the labor
ing people, and that the eighth shall
serve fifteen years in the penitentiary.
We are, however, friend OF Spies
and his comrade, and we will not cry
out fol revenge at an opportune time,
but we will do everything that remains
to be done.
NEWS AT NEW YORK.
NEW York, Sept. 14.-The news of
the affirmation by the Supreme Court Of
Illinois of the decision of the Lower
Court in the case of the condemned
Chicago Anarchists caused great ex-
element among New York Socialists
and Anarchists. Herr Most was fu-
rious. His Anarchist paper the
Freihiet had just gone to
press pres for Tnen the or ae%s c fro@
the press, Most posted a notice saying
that he could not be interviewed and
that the paper would be published con-
tanning an editorial ON the matter.
Most rolled up his sleeves and proceed
ed to write an editorial addressed to
the workingmen Of all countries. The
editorial was column and half long.
He characterized the judge who made
bloodthirsty fool, s" and the jury as cor
rupt. The editorial closes with the fol-
lowing appeal: 1.-The question of their
bloOdshed is doomed; yet let everyone
do his duty and it will never be. Life
to the soldiers Hail to the social
THE ANARCHISTS.
CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-It did not appear
when the Anarchists emerged from
their cells to take exercise this morn
ing that the fatal news of yeste rday
had made any impression on them.
SpiziS came out with cigar in his
mouth, nodded to his fellows and then
going to the sink washed two or
three pieces of tin-ware with hot
water. Lingg climbed into the barber
chair and was shaved. The 9TH
ers retired behind a projecting cor
ner of the cell house and talked |
among themselves until their friends
began to come in. The representative |
German paper of this city, the Stats |
Zeitung, which has hitherto been in |
favor of the execution of the Anarchists, |
comes out this morning in an editorial,
somewhat supporting communication
of sentence. The main paragraph
reads as follows: sit would be more
clever If the defense instead OF seeking
through legal bubbles to disturb and
excite public opinion, took advant- |
age of the present prevailing
milder sentiment of the public in order
to present petition to the Governor,
not for free pardon, but for COM
mutation of the death sentence to |
penal seIVitude. 1t might be possible !
that such an attempt would meet with |
success, but it would have to be under |
stood that in the meantime the COM
rades of the condemned men should be |
very well behaved and very tranquil. |
Should they, however, continue acting
as they have done at their meetings
during the last few months, they would |
surely bring their comrades to the |
gallows.''
